The snow continues to fall in Minakami with an extra 10cm at the valley collected overnight. The forecast is for the snow to subside around mid morning with the remainder of the day staying cold and cloudy,

Tomorrow the snow starts just after midnight and is set to continue through until Monday bringing a decent dump. As a front is moving up form the South it is likely the snow will be widespread, even falling in the Tokyo region, so be prepared for big traffic delays.
